A Manifesto is a public declaration of how someone or a group of someones experience and understand the world so as to call attention and focus to a political position or situation.

The Queer Love 2023 Manifesto was collectively written by Jason Wyman, Tray Smith, Crystal Mason, John O'Reilly, Ash Tré Phillips, Midori, Teddy Benjamin, and Jessie Sunday over October and Noveber 2022 because we are tired of seeing our queer & trans kin bashed, attacked, and killed, and we want, need, and desire a way to cultivate and spread queer love all over 2023. So we got together in various configurations to:

• Name Who We Are,
• Articulate How We See the World,
• Declare What we Believe,
• Share our Dreams, and
• State Our Commitments 

The Manifesto guides us in spreading Queer Love all over 2023 by coordinating FREE resources including a Calendar of Events, a Service Directory, and a Map of Venues.

There are two main ways to read the Queer Love 2023 Manifesto.

One, keep scrolling! It's in a slideshow embedded below.

Two, read it in our handy Queer Love 2023 Guide, which is available as a Google Doc.
